Restaurants near Elk Rapids

“Must do if you've come to the Traverse City area and want to taste Michigan wine. These folks know what they're doing and are making great wine. We enjoyed a relaxed tasting in the garden and liked all the wines (more than we expected!). The service was easygoing (in a good way) and informative. We also tried a cider that was complex and earthy. Don't sleep on those. While the reds were on the pricey side, the Rieslings are very reasonable and absolutely worth taking a bottle home. Or more than a bottle if you aren't flying!”

“Shannon, Tyler, and Nick are class acts. True artists that really know what they’re doing and will leave you speechless and broke if you’re not careful. Can’t help but return every time while “up north.” They’re that great and that consistent. GO HERE if in need of indulgent libations. I would be shocked if you were disappointed.
P.S. Leave with some coffee if you’re a die hard fan.”

“Awesome brews and crew. Osario's and Flannigan's Goat serve up some very tasty food. Great indoor/ outdoor venue. Summertime music is great too. The customers are friendly and fun. I highly recommend both of Short's facilities. So thankful that we have this in Elk Rapids.”

“We've sampled donut shops herein Northern Michigan, including the famous "Potters" (they're good). But, we found the Flour Pot almost by accident. The donuts at the Flour Pot are the best we've had!!!”

“I've ordered from Aiko a few times now, and the food has always been delicious. I recommend their Bento Box with the burger + fried rice option, it is delectable. 😏🍴 (pictured below) + Their new delivery service is great! Super nice for when you don't want to get out, or for when you need lunch/dinner at work like me. 😄”

“We have had great service here in the past and great food. They even made a special pasta for my granddaughter. But last night was a disaster. They were out of so many options on the menu. When we ordered our burgers she said she cannot guarantee they will be made the temperature we requested because they are so busy. Wow, really? When ordering drinks so many options of beers not available. She didn’t know what brands of scotch and vodka were available. We asked for a drink menu but she couldn’t be bothered with that but continued to muddle through her iPad lists. When our food came, I had asked for my burger to be without bun. But they didn’t include the aoli sauce so I asked for some for my burger. My husbands wings came out very dry and just a dab of sauce in the bottom of the basket. So he asked for more buffalo sauce. Waitress said “oh they were tossed in sauce already. Maybe they were just sitting for awhile waiting for the other food to be done.” WOW, really? Well they are too dry. Need more sauce. Then when the bill came they charged us $2.00 for the sauces! We complained and she said she had to charge us. We asked to speak to the manager. SHE argued with us. She said she watched them toss our wings in the 2 oz of sauce and they were fine. I said there absolutely was no white aoli sauce on my burger. She said she would be ok taking that charge off. But since when do you argue with a customer? Especially someone who is a regular and have gotten those same things in the past and had appropriate sauces. Just too bad that even a manager would act this way. We hate being nickel and dimed for everything. Give it a try. They normally do have good food. Most of the time we have good service but last night was very trying.”

“best food we have had in a long time .. the pasta was best I've ever had.”

“Great food Great experience Dan the waiter is amazing ! Very friendly , professional waiter , highly recommend Dan - he’s the best !”

“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!”

“Went into Stone Hound Brewery for the first time. I have to say and keep in mind I don’t talk much or spread my thought process often. So moving on. I had the nachos and the chicken sandwich. If ur in the area and can support a locally owned business. By far this is one I would recommend. Kudos to stone hound for the fantastic food and beer. Awesome!! If you are apprehensive about trying a vegan option….don’t be….this place is awesome!”

“Great coffee!!! I nice little place. Great muffins. I had a salad to go.”

“Absolutely love this place!”

“I wish I could give more stars. We pulled up 15 mins before they closed, expected to be turned away. Nope the employee happily made our food and it was absolutely delicious. I will be telling anyone I know that comes to TC area to eat here.”

“Don't let their simple exterior fool you, they are crafting up yummy espresso drinks, delicious sandwiches and baked goods! Super nice owners and great service.”

“My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary this past weekend. Beautiful views and great wine. Can’t wait to come back in the summer. Thank you Terry for helping us pick our flights :)”

“This winery was at a time, one I’d ignore. I never found the wines very interesting. However!!!, we visited the winery and they got rid of all the tchotchkes to focus on the wine. If you are fortunate enough to meet the tasting manager Hiro Miura, you will learn about gorgeous, delicious, interesting facts about grapes in every stage and distinction and contribution to the final product called wine. I’m a retired chef and I learned so much in our relatively short visit to the vineyard. I enjoy making connections with people I meet along my travels. This visit was marked as a favorite. Thank you Hiro for sharing your passion.
Warmly,
Sharilyn”

“Awesome owners and staff. Good food and good home town bar feeling. We lovw this place and frequent it often.”

“The outside is inviting but the middle aged lady inside taking the orders was straight up rude and their ordering process is out of the whack. Basic sandwiches. Soups were phenomenal. Basic wine list. Overall not very pleasant.”

“We came for the sip, savor melt event. We had a wonderful time, the food and wine pairings weee great, and the DJ played great music. The Photo Booth was also fun!”

“Love the atmosphere! Staff is amazing. If you are in Traverse City, it’s a must!”

“1st time customer :) Cory’s enthusiastic & hospitable service was so refreshing, given these days where many employees do not care about treating their customers in a happy or cheerful mood. Thanks Cory for the wonderful service & delicious ice cream!”

“Best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time”

“This was our second visit. No wait for a table and the waiter was very quick. Our food was delicious. The bar area got a bit crowded. Alot of people drinking and standing around the bar. It was a large beer bus group. Looking forward to visiting again third time!”
